University Rules Regarding Ragging and Its Prevention

The word ‘ragging’ means the act of teasing, taunting, playing a practical joke upon someone, or holding comic parades and other activities during certain periods of a college term.

But over the years, the word ‘ragging’ ceased to denote the healthy practice it used to be and has acquired more negative connotations and notoriety. Nowadays, ‘ragging’ may include:

• Display of noisy, disorderly conduct
• Teasing excitement by rough or rude treatment or handling
• Indulging in rowdy, undisciplined activities which cause or are likely to cause annoyance, undue hardship, physical or psychological harm
• Raising apprehension or fear in a fresher
• Asking students to do any act or perform something which they would not do in the ordinary course and which causes them shame, embarrassment, or danger to their life

To prevent ragging, some state governments enacted legislation defining ragging and suggesting preventive measures and punishment. The University Grants Commission strongly recommends that every educational institution should take steps to curb the menace of ragging.

Measures to Prevent Ragging

Our institute follows the following measures to prevent ragging:

• At the commencement of the academic session, the head of the institution may address a meeting of various agencies like wardens, representatives of students, parents/guardians, faculty, police and other law and order machinery with an appeal to help eradicate the menace of ragging from the institution completely.
• At the commencement of the academic session, we constitute a vigilance committee consisting of senior faculty members, some hostel authorities like wardens and a few responsible senior students of all the classes.
